William Diehl 27
Ballantine Books 19960901 0345370732 / 9780345370730 MM Very Good
0345370732 0345370732 From Publishers Weekly Diehl integrates historical events such as Hitler's rise to power and Dillinger's bank robberies into this thriller about a heroic ex-bootlegger and his nemesis, agent 27, a Nazi planning to kidnap some of America's most powerful men. "Despite some improbable coincidences, his solidly researched tale is suspenseful, ingenious and, in places, deeply moving," said PW. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review A cynical American playboy goes after a deep-cover Nazi agent inserted into the US in the early 1930's - with a secret assignment that could keep the Americans out of the coming war. The Nazis' deep-secret weapon is sadistic Johann Ingersoll, a film star whose specialty on and off screen is disguise and mystery. His millions of fans have never even had a peek at his real face - which makes him the perfect choice for Hitler's spy wizard Wilhelm Vierhaus, who casts Ingersoll as an American with orders to bury himself in that country until the time is fight to carry out Vierhaus' scheme to defang the US before they can tangle with Germany. But hints of Vierhaus' plot reach the ears of one-time bootlegger Frances Keegan, a rich, handsome American whose great love, Jenny Gould, has been arrested and shipped off to a concentration camp (where she dies). Bent on vengeance and working with the skimpiest of clues, Keegan uses his connections with former customer and Scotch drinker Franklin Roosevelt to get the help of a private pilot complete with plane, and the resources of the FBI without the blessing or knowledge of J. Edgar Hoover. It turns out that the only thing between Ingersoll and his completed mission is a surprising run-in with John Dillinger More competent Nazi thriller-melodrama from Diehl (Thai Horse, 1987, etc.).

William Diehl Primal Fear
Ballantine Books 19960301 0345388771 / 9780345388773 MM Very Good
0345388771 0345388771 Amazon Review In Chicago, a sainted archbishop is murdered, mutilated, and dismembered in his rectory. Aaron Stampler, an angelic-looking young man, is found crouched in a confessional, covered with blood, clutching a butcher's knife, swearing his innocence. Martin Vail is the brilliant lawyer every prosecutor and politician loves to hate. It is up to him to defend Stampler, the young human monster. But first he must uncover the horrifying truth about the crime. From Publishers Weekly Ringing dazzling changes on the suspense format he worked so successfully in Sharkey's Machine and four other thrillers, Diehl here focuses on the maneuvers of Chicago defense attorney Martin Vail, a prosecutor's worst nightmare. Vail has vexed the political machine by winning a multimillion-dollar brutality judgment against the city, county and state police, but the powers that be think they see a way to pay him back. After discovering the mutilated body of Archbishop Richard Rushman in the rectory of his church, police find Aaron Stampler cowering in a confessional, blood-soaked and gripping the murder weapon. It seems like an ironclad case--psycho slasher carves up "the Saint of Lakeview Drive"--and a hostile judge appoints Vail as pro bono defense attorney, hoping to publicly humble him. Vail is impressed by Stampler, a runaway from the bishop's haven, Savior House, and builds a maverick defense team to butt heads with vengeful prosecutor Jane Venable. PI Tommy Goodman digs up some nasty news about the bishop (not what the reader expects) and uncovers a childhood of abuse and mysterious deaths in Stampler's Kentucky hometown. Psychiatrist Molly Arrington blows the case wide open by unearthing a terrifying secret that Vail springs in court. Diehl builds delicious tension, keeping the reader off balance right up to the gavel-pounding finale. 50,000 first printing; major ad/promo; movie rights to Paramount; Literary Guild special featured selection.

The culprit turns out to an angelic altar boy. Martin Vail, a brash, young public defender appointed to the case, uncovers a trail of brutal psycho-sexual intrigue. The lurid details may offend some, but Will Patton's forceful reading generates considerable interest, thanks to the emotional range he calls upon. Scenes are introduced in an insistent, edgy tone, and the many characterizations are all startlingly vivid. The audiobook is clearly an example of a sensitive performer transcending the limits of his predictable material. R.W.B.
